We binged watch Cupcake Wars for most of the series and saw Adys Cupcakes on the show. We also went on a roadtrip and Adys was along the way so we placed an order for pick up. Cute quaint little Shop. Delicious cupcakes and Macaroons! All moist. Ladies at counter were very nice! We did not meet Ady . Maybe next time! read more

I had the opportunity to pick up a mini cake for a friend's birthday, and it was absolutely delicious. It was about $20 for a mini cake, and they kindly wrote happy birthday on it for free. I also had picked up a vanilla de leche cupcake, which was quite sweet but as expected for a cupcake. they also have plenty of cookies and other sweets for celebrations (birthdays, graduations, thank you cookies). read more

Been wanting to try this location for a few years a finally got to. It's a small store that smells amazing when you walk in. The macaron, cake pops in the case look so tasty as did the cupcakes. I ordered 12 macaron mixed flavors for the family to try and 6 mixed cupcakes. Total was 55 well within range for these shops. We tried 5 different flavors of the macarons and they all tasted the same. Like the overly sweet icing on cakes when you were 5. The pumpkin I could taste a hint of pumpkin but the icing in the middle was so over powering it over took the flavor. While these are "sweets" I don't want to just taste sugar. And macarons should been on the lighter side. These were heavy and very chewy. The cupcakes....... Very top heavy. More icing than cake. Overly sweet no real distinct taste between the 6 we got. We were disappointed to say the least. I really wanted to like a local shop since we usually have to travel towards Hershey for macarons but both items disappointed us. We usually always try a place at least twice but, I don't believe we will be back. read more

Ordered a cake for my wife's birthday celebration at a restaurant this past weekend. It was a caramel "drip" cake and it was awesome! Prepared on time. Well worth the money. Would definitely recommend Ady Cakes for a special occasion . read more

"Cut the cake Give me a little piece" (Average White Band) Ady Abreu Miriello, the namesake of Ady Cakes, has quite an interesting backstory. She was a ballerina, an then an engineer before she transitioned into an award winning cake artist by taking first prize on an episode of Food Network's competition show Cupcake Wars. Her store -Ady Cakes, is located in the heart of West Reading, PA's sweet little downtown and has been around since 2007. They sell 18 flavors of very reasonably priced ($3) cupcakes, 13 French Macarons at $2,50, 4 kinds of Cake Pops at $2.50, plus mini cakes, mini cupcakes and cookies. We picked up two cupcakes - coconut and chocolate iced chocolate. My chocolate cupcake was delicious! Super creamy decadent icing over soft as silk chocolate cake. It was pretty much perfection. The store interior and exterior are very pretty with pink accented curtains and a pink awning. The young lady who served us was helpful and just as sweet as the cupcakes we walked out with. read more

The delivery service is awful and never on time. Maybe it's Grubhub responsiblity on that however, the cupcakes never taste fresh, and the macarons are hard as a rock. The space is small but it has a cute theme. It's worth checking out in person, don't order online. read more

I really want to like this place, especially since they won Cake Wars. Their cupcake icing is buttery smooth but all of their cupcakes taste the same to me. The best thing I've tasted here are their cake pops, specifically the chocolate and vanilla flavors. Their cake pops are super moist on the inside, but I had to wait a little to eat them because the outer part was cold (guessing they keep them cool to preserve them.) Cute little spot in West Reading but I'm still on the hunt for a really good dessert spot! read more

This was my second time getting cupcakes from Ady Cakes and I'm blown away!! I would absolutely recommend them

My NEW favorite bakery! I wish Ady Cakes was closer to where I live but it's well worth the day trip to West Reading. Ady Cakes is a very small, but super cute shop with plenty of delicious sweets to choose from. We stopped in on a Saturday, close to closing time so there wasn't much left to choose from, but what we did select, we absolutely LOVED! Our sweet treat included a Red Velvet cupcake & Chocolate Chip cupcake. Oh my goodness, talk about melt in your mouth kind of good! This was hands down one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. If you're in the area, absolutely stop in or order some baked goods online! We will 100% be back for more cupcakes! read more

***** 4 1/2 Stars**** While walking back to our hotel after having had dinner, we stumbled upon Ady Cakes. And what a serendipitous find it was! Seeing the sign that said "cakes" and "cupcakes", well...how could I resist cupcakes? So, I entered into a very small shop that had a sign informing customers that Ady Cakes had appeared on "Cupcake Wars"! There were 2 customers ahead of me which gave me time to look at the offerings. The clerk was telling us customers that Ady Cakes was going to be on "Cupcake Wars" on May 6th. The customers in front of me asked if Ady had won and the clerk said that they weren't allowed to say until the episode aired. She also added that there was going to be a party at a restaurant next to the hotel we were staying at. Everyone was invited to come and watch the episode. Too bad we were leaving to go back home that day :( I chose one all vanilla cupcake and 1 chocolate mint one. Each cupcake cost $2.50. Later in the evening, we gave them a try. They were delicious! The cake was dense yet not too dense as it was moist and flavorful. I had the all vanilla one which tasted and smelled like a birthday cake. It had good vanilla flavor without being too sweet---just the perfect amount of sweetness. My husband had the chocolate mint one. Upon opening the plastic container it was packed in, the air was redolent with mint. Again, the cake was dense enough and moist enough. The frosting had excellent mint flavoring and the cake tasted of both chocolate and mint without being too rich. My husband raved about his cupcake! I can't wait to see how the owner, Ady Abreu, does on "Cupcake Wars". However, I do know this---next time we're in town, we're going to buy more of her cupcakes. The clerk who waited on us was very friendly and helpful. Even though the shop was cramped, it was a cheery place. read more

Ok the red velvet cupcakes are to DIE FOR!! I was unimpressed with the vanilla icing on the vanilla/vanilla, it was very light and fluffy but didn't have enough sweetness to it. But still very good compared to some of the other cupcakes I've tried in the area. The chocolate Nutella macaron was amazing, but it did come as a surprise when I bit into the pink champagne and lavender lemon macaroons... both had a jelly inside. The lemon jelly in the lavender wasn't bad but I couldn't get past the indescribable flavor of the jelly in the pink one. I had no idea they contained jelly inside otherwise I would not of ordered them! All in all, I would highly recommend this place! read more

Everything is always delicious!!! Macaroons are my favorite and the Grinch cake was amazing!!!

My girlfriend grew up in Reading and while we were having lunch at Chatty Monks told me all about the cupcake store down the block that won on cupcake wars on one of the food channels. Now I'm not a sweets kind of guy, but you say cupcake and I'm down (hence my love of the cupcake place we visited in Baltimore). We got there late in the day (2pm) and there few selections. We asked for a 6pack sampler to take home and shared one on the way. First the buttercream icing is amazing and the cake was so moist. I am in no way an expert on cakes and desserts, but if I'm going to eat only a few cupcakes a year, this is my first stop. read more

THE best cake pops I have ever had! Tried 3 of the 4 flavors: chocolate, vanilla, and pink champagne. Super moist! Sometimes Chocolate desserts can be too sweet/chocolatey, but the chocolate cake pops were just perfect! Didn't try anything else at this bakery, but the cake pops are a must try if you are in West Reading! read more

Ordered a cake for a 50th wedding anniversary. When we set it up at the party we noticed the "5" looked like an upside down "2." Emailed Ady Cakes that night, not even asking for a refund. Got a horribly rude email back. Customer service goes a long way. (Names have been taken out for privacy) Email to Ady Cakes (note - never asked for a refund): Hello. The cake was delicious and all around looked good. However, the "5" is actually and upside down 2. Numerous people made comments and it was very embarrassing for me. Paying $215 for a cake with an upside down 2 is totally unacceptable. It's a very unfortunate event as my usual cake lady closed her business and I've been Searching for a replacement, not only for our usual 6-8 cakes a year, but to refer all my clients to as well. I'm hoping that as the owner of the company, it was not you, but rather a careless employee who decided to use the "2". I'm hoping we can agree on some type of resolution to this. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Her email back: Hello: This is Ady, the owner. I'm so sorry to hear you were not satisfy with the shape of the #5 on the cake and I'm actually quite shocked at your comments. The #5 is not an "upside down 2" it's simply the shape of the cutter, I've been using the same cutter for over 9 years and nobody made that assumption before. I will be more than happy to show you our cutters but since you didn't like it I feel is not necessary. The cake was not done by a "careless employee", the cake was done by me. I'm happy to hear you think the cake was delicious and in your words "looked good", I think the cake looked amazing! but for you to expect a "resolution" (refund?) over the the fact you didn't like the shape of a number, (regardless of how good the cake tasted and how good it looked) I find it quite insulting. I don't think this cake will automatically lose its value or that you are entitled to a "resolution" because of such an odd complain. I personally put many hours on each and every detail, and the cake it's impeccable. Regarding the cost, $215.00 is a great price based on the product that we produced and you agreed to it previous picking up the cake. Quite frankly if there will be complains over price (afterwards) and picking the cake apart to find menial faults I rather us not to engage on future business. Best luck to you, Have a sweet day. read more

Overpriced. Horrible ordering process. Have no time to truly help you plan your event. You really get a sense that because they won cake wars they're doing you a favor by making you a cake. Customer service is just the worst. Go to Auchenbach's Bakery in Lancaster - so much more worth your time and money! read more

*****Sigh, I want to like this place but geesh I have to find somewhere else close to home. Not worth the hassle and bad service.

The cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted awesome. It was the hit of the party. The shop is clean and the staff was polite and friendly. Elaine F. read more

We were surprised that there weren't many cupcake options available, that either means they're really good and people are eating them up, or they're more of a cake place. We got a batch of the mini assorted cupcakes and they were delicious... We would have bought more if they were there! Pricing was a little high, but you expect that when you get this level of quality! Greeted as we entered and service was great! read more

Ady's bake shop is so cute and clean and her employees are always courteous and eager to please. The cupcakes are pretty and delicious and the cakes are so nicely decorated and detailed! She makes her French macarons there in the shop and they are so smooth and have just the right texture and consistency. I highly recommend Ady Cakes! read more

These cupcakes are amazing! It's no wonder she won cupcake wars! Her cupcakes are large and fairly priced. Her buttercream is a smooth dream! Her flavors range from basic (chocolate vanilla confetti) To exotic (pistachio cardamom, dulce de leche, churro). Ady is consistent with her cakes, you will not be disappointed! read more

The cake was absolutely amazing and the price was reasonable! We purchased a vanilla cake with coconut in the middle and it just melts in your mouth! read more

Went for tasting an enjoyed the flavors however the red velvet was a light red rather than a rich flavor and color i expected. She couldn't do any of the designs i had in mind and told me the design i wanted NOBODY does anymore and referred to it as an retired art form. (The next place I went to had no problem doing it) Then attempted to charge $100 for delivery when my venue was 1.5 miles away. Very over rated. read more

I was super excited to try cupcakes from here. Especially since their win on Cupcake Wars. When we first entered the first thing I saw was an old air conditioner with a bunch of dirt or rocks underneath it, not appealing at all. Next thing I noticed as I was waiting to be helped was the over-the-top amount of pictures all over the walls. I get it, they want to make sure everyone knows they won cupcake wars, however I think your picture everywhere is a little much, especially in a space so small. Focus should be on the food. Pictures of their cupcakes would be a much better fit. Not posing with a cupcake in every shot. I ended up getting two of their signature flavors, the beer stout chocolate cupcake with vanilla icing and caramel and the pink champagne. They were stored so cold that the icing was really hard. The chocolate cupcake was better of the two. Pink champagne was so sweet I couldn't even finish it. Also the icing had big sugar granules still through out like the sugar was not sifted enough or at all. For $5 I had expectations of at least being able to finish them read more

Had 8 dozen cupcakes and a small wedding cake made for my daughters wedding this week. They where beautiful to look at. It was honestly the most delicious red velvet cupcake and cake I have ever eaten. Even the quest where asking where it was from. They did an outstanding job and I would highly recommend them to others. Ordering was easy and I could do it all over the phone. read more

Ady Cakes has the best cupcakes in Reading and possibly the best cupcakes I've ever eaten! The first time I went was on a Sunday afternoon. Ady was out of most flavors of her cupcakes so I tried a vanilla and chocolate one and it was quite moist and delicious. This prompted a return visit the next day when she had a full fresh stock of all her flavors. This visit was even better than the last and the quality of the cupcakes, especially the red velvet, blew me away. The caramel cupcakes and s'mores cupcakes are also awesome. I think of myself as a pretty experienced connoisseur of sweets and after trying several of the local bakeries, I have to say that Ady sets the bar for cupcakes in this area. I'll certainly be back to try the rest of the flavors and so should you! read more

Great place to enjoy a nice cupcake. Its amazing to think that she won Cupcake Wars, glad to here that we have some recognition in the local community. read more

Lacking in creativity with their storefront, but not with their flavor. Ended up with a vanilla on vanilla cupcake, while the fiance bought the red velvet cupcake. Not overly sweet, which was a little odd at first, but you come to love the flavor pairing after you're finished with the cupcake. Fantasticly moist on the bottom, and a little harder on top with the icing. It's a shame that they don't keep later hours on the weekdays, since this would certainly be a go-to if they were open. read more

Not worth the hype. I came here today from NYC and was disappointed as they had an extreme limited selection. When I asked the owner if they had any in the back she responded by saying "well your late" very poor customer service skills and cupcakes are mediocre. I am a lover of all things coffee however the coffee cupcake tasted as though I was ingesting straight up coffee grinds. The sponge in some cupcakes was non moist. If i has to recommend one it would be the cookies and cream. Over all i wouldn't recommend and would not come back. read more

My fiancé and I went here just recently to sample some different flavors for a possible wedding cake. The woman we met with was extremely nice and helpful. Their shelves were full of different goodies, which all looked yummy! We were given 4 different flavors (chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, and pumpkin). When we got home we sampled them and they were excellent. My fiancé ate the chocolate since I'm not a fan and he said it was amazing. The pumpkin is absolutely phenomenal and I would highly recommend that to anyone and everyone. It is a bit hard to find if you're not familiar with the area. Parking can be a bit of a headache as well. Overall, great place and recommend trying it out. read more

My nephew brought me macarons from Adys that are simply PERFECTION...he also brought a beautiful Adys strawberry buttercream cake....everything was absolutely delicious, impeccableand absolutely worth the calories!!!! Fantastic! read more

My guess is either cupcake wars didn't give much of a competition or the recipe has gone downhill since. I've gone twice just to be sure I wasn't unfair but my first time and second time were so bad. The flavor of both cake and frosting was not good...the cake was kind of waxy or something with little flavor (vanilla and the pink champagne) and the frosting was so sweet and again just not very good. The cupcake consistency tasted like they had been made days before with tough, hard edges (not just a little crispy from baking). I tried them first because I was getting married and wanted to see if this may be a place to get my cake...if you're thinking the same go down to The Well Dressed Cake. Really amazing and they actually do cake tastings if you want to get cupcakes for your wedding read more

The cupcakes tasted like they were store bought. Was very disappointed in this place. The owner is extremely rude.

Ady Cakes has great cupcakes. The chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting is dangerously good. If in the area I recommend going and try any of the cupcakes. The place smells like sugar and butter. The smell of a great bakery. read more

I did not have a good experience. First I bought cupcakes and they were dry. Then I ordered a cake and it was very very dry, tasted like sugar (it was supposed to taste like chocolate) . I won't go back. read more

We ordered dozens of regular size cupcakes and mini-cupcakes for our end of the year company celebration. Everyone was raving over the decorations and taste! I highly recommend Ady Cakes! They are the talk of the town in Berks and Lancaster county. There is a reason they won Cupcake Wars and are listed as a recommended place to visit by the Food Network......the best in the area. read more

I do really like their cupcakes. Better than any I've tried on penn ave. I would agree with another reviewer that the customer service was not very good. They should treat customers better if they want to keep them coming back! read more

This is my favorite cupcake shop in Berks County. The cupcakes aren't sickeningly sweet, like other locations, and they are ALWAYS fresh. The cake is light and fluffy, and the icing is just the right amount. I'm obsessed with their red velvet flavor. Actually, I don't think I've ever had a flavor I didn't love. They always have plenty of options and the staff are always smiling. read more
